RUTLEDGE GALLERY
For years Rutledge was known as Carnegie Library, named for industrialist and philanthropist
Andrew Carnegie who provided funds for its construction. It was renovated into a classroom
building when Dacus Library was constructed in 1969. That same year, the building
was renamed in honor of Mai Rutledge Smith Johnson, wife of founding president David Bancroft Johnson and descendant of South Carolina's first governor, Edward Rutledge, who signed the
Declaration of Independence. A 1990 renovation recaptured the splendor of the building's
Classical Revival style, which incorporates features of French Imperial design. Today
the Rutledge Gallery and the Elizabeth Dunlap Patrick Gallery are located in this
building.
